Scientific Journals devoted to Arachnology

Acarina

The open-access, peer-reviewed journal is published in English. It emphasizes the morphology, taxonomy, zoogeography, evolution and development of ticks and mites, both recent and fossil, as well as plant protection problems.

Acarologia

Acarologia is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the biology of the Acari. Acarologia publishes results of original and high quality research on all aspects of Acarology, including molecular biology, taxonomy, physiology, ecology, evolution, behaviour, biogeography, genetics, morphology and physiology. Applied acarology, including economic studies, plant parasites and biological control, and veterinary aspects, are also accepted. All groups within the Acari are considered.
The journal aims to promote research and spread knowledge of this important group of arthropods. Four issues are published every year.

Acta Arachnologica

Acta Arachnologica is a journal devoted to the study of arachnids and myriapods, and is printed in English and Japanese.

Arachnologische Mitteilungen

Arachnologische Mitteilungen is the journal of the Arachnologische Gesellschaft, focusing on faunistics and ecology of arachnids (excluding Acari). All articles are published in a printed version as well as open-access pdf files, which can be searched on the society website.

Arachnology

Arachnology (formerly Bulletin of the British Arachnological Society) is the foremost British academic publication on all aspects of Arachnology (excluding Acarology), including discussions of arachnid biology and ecology, descriptions of new species, and information on recent discoveries in arachnology.

The Bulletin of the British Arachnological Society was first published in 1969, and was edited for 37 years by Dr Peter Merrett. From 2013, the Bulletin has been renamed Arachnology in order to reflect the international nature of its contents. Three issues are published each year, in Spring, Summer, and Autumn, and three years (nine issues) constitute a Volume. All articles are available for download in pdf format for members only. These electronic reprints are for personal use only, and may not be used for commercial purposes.

Arthropoda Selecta

The open-access, peer-reviewed journal is published mostly in English. The scope of the journal is the morphology, taxonomy, development, life histories, zoogeography, phylogeny and evolution of arthropods with a strong focus on arachnids.

Experimental and Applied Acarology

Experimental and Applied Acarology publishes peer-reviewed original papers describing advances in basic and applied research on mites and ticks. Coverage encompasses all Acari, including those of environmental, agricultural, medical and veterinary importance, and all the ways in which they interact with other organisms (plants, arthropods and other animals). The subject matter draws upon a wide variety of disciplines, including evolutionary biology, ecology, epidemiology, physiology, biochemistry, toxicology, immunology, genetics, molecular biology and pest management sciences.

International Journal of Acarology

The International Journal of Acarology has a global readership and publishes original research and review papers on a wide variety of acarological subjects including mite and tick behavior, biochemistry, biology,control, ecology, evolution, morphology, physiology, systematics, taxonomy (single species descriptions are discouraged unless accompanied by additional new information on ecology, biology, systematics, etc.).

Journal of Arachnology

The Journal of Arachnology is a publication devoted to the study of Arachnida. It is published three times each year by the American Arachnological Society (AAS). The journal publishes scientific articles reporting novel and significant observations and data regarding any aspect of the biology of arachnid groups. Articles must be scientifically rigorous and report substantially new information. Submissions that are overly narrow in focus (e.g., local faunal lists, descriptions of a second sex or of a single species without additional discussion of the significance of this information), have poorly substantiated observational data, or that present no new information will not be considered. Book reviews will not be published.

Revista Ibérica de Aracnología

The Revista Ibérica de Aracnología publishes peer-reviewed paper related to any field of Arachnology, including the taxa Acari and Pycnogonida. There are no limitations on geographic range or discipline (Systematics, Ecology, Biogeography, Palaeontology, etc.).

SERKET

SERKET, The Arachnological Bulletin of the Middle East and North Africa, was launched in August 1987 in Egypt, taking its name from the ancient Egyptian language for a scorpion. It is devoted to the study of Arachnida (except Acari) worldwide. Fourteen volumes were published until 2015. All papers are reviewed. No publication fees. It is published on-line since 2012. All volumes are available now on-line on Serket's homepage, on archive.org, and BHL.
